• Build 76: Blueprint Folders, Bigger Batteries and More Steady Multiplayer - 5 October 2026

  Highlights Blueprint folders. The Blueprint panel has folders. Create, rename and delete them, nest folders inside folders and step back with the path row. Drag a blueprint onto a folder, or pick one from the Folder dropdown in its details. Search looks through every folder, and your existing blueprints stay where they were, at the top level. Bigger batteries. Batteries hold 30 kWh, up from 5, and charge and discharge six times faster. Barge Loading Bays. A logistics bay's barge port is now the Barge Loading Bay and holds 2, 5 or 10 stacks by tier. Fast bays draw a flat 2 kW, Express bays 5 kW. Coloured lamps that light your base. Lights take any colour from the mass driver laser picker, glow with a soft halo and light the structures around them in their own colour. Display settings has a Max lamp lights slider, from Off to 144, and picking a graphics quality sets its default. Plasma bo…

• Patch 0.50.0.72 - Landing Zone improvements, Charge rework, and enemy fixes - 4 October 2026

  Improvements Landing zones show a blue ghost of the next ship to land there, or of the last one that did Power rework: Capacitors and Batteries charge only from spare generation, bursts last 0.25 s, and a mass driver pays before loading, waiting at 0% instead of wasting a load. New power panel rows, a storage gauge and rebalanced numbers Shift+H and Shift+V flip a held blueprint or structure Fast and Express Logistics Bays unlock with the Fast and Express Cargo Barges and hold more in their barge port A Deconstruct Station button beside Copy Selected Station (click again to cancel) Mass drivers get a laser colour picker and a Follow destination toggle Cargo barges lose their engines and ride a faint heat haze Clearer hover and selection markers inside a station's outline Armor blocks show valid slot markers next to a held building Cargo hold hover names its items, and the Assembler pane…

• Patch 0.50.0.71 - Smoother deconstructs on big bases, a research queue drag fix, - 3 October 2026

  Fixes Deconstructing several structures of one station at once no longer leaves broken station grids behind. On big bases this could drop the game to a few frames per second until you reloaded the save Dragging a tile in the research queue and letting go just under the row now moves it, instead of quietly cancelling the drag Pasting settings from a station core onto a core of another size (a 3x3 core or rocket adapter onto a 4x4 core, or back) now gives priority to the same edge as the source Changing the language with Settings open no longer turns VSync on Improvements New settings: Interface > Show My Name puts your own name tag over your ship, and Display > Show My Ship Outline outlines your own ship like other players' ships. Both are off by default, work in single player too, and hide while you ride a station A research tile you can't drop ahead of its prerequisite now says why for…

• Update 0.50.70 - Tons of fixes, station outlines update, QOL - 3 October 2026

  Improvements The lobby browser lists private games too, with a Public or Private column and a lock. A private game without a password lets in only the host's Steam friends A Defense Platform's parked Bats keep their places while the station flies, turns and lands Hovering a station draws its outline with rounded corners and a soft blue glow, and it now works in the map's close up view too Switch straight between the copy, cut and deconstruct tools Pasting settings onto the same kind of structure also turns it to match the source's facing and output priority Clicking a ping in the faded chat overlay opens the map on it, even with chat closed The Signal Dampener is now in the Combat build tab Big saves with many parked stations run a little faster A bug report sent from the in game menu keeps its save attached when you close the menu Fixes A player joining or reconnecting in the middle of…

• Patch 0.50.0.66 - More QOL and Fixes! - 2 October 2026

  0.50.0.66 Improvements A player riding a mobile station is hidden for everyone, as on their own screen, and a hidden ship's engine no longer burns Bats leaving or returning to their platform on a moving mobile station drift into place instead of popping A new cargo barge's route starts two tiles behind its tail, so a barge placed one tile from its Logistics Bay backs up and docks Fixes A Logistics Bay's output port pulled items out of the bay's own slots. It now only takes the overflow A cargo barge with cargo but no destination left and docked again every few seconds. It now stays docked at its source 0.50.0.65 Improvements Hovering a structure outlines its whole station, following the slope of Triangle Armor Blocks A mobile station that can't go on says why: waiting for a free landing zone, no zone with that name, or zone blocked. The landing zone panel lists its stations Alt view sho…

• THE MULTIPLAYER UPDATE - 1 October 2026

  Hello engineers, Playing Final Factory with friends has been my dream since before the game came out. Today that dream finally comes true. It took a lot longer than I wanted.
